In Maths, choosing the right method is often harder thandoing the calculation.
Learn how to recognise the method a question needs, work through it clearly and catch mistakes before they cost you marks.

How Shahab reads a Mathematics question
Before solving, find the five things hidden inside the question.
A syllabus tells you what can be examined. The paper decides how methods are combined, which conditions matter, and what working earns the mark.
01
The methodWhich approach does the question require?02
The substitutionWhat values go where?03
The workingWhat steps must be shown?04
The checkHow do you verify the answer?05
The answerWhat form does the examiner expect?01 / The method
The right method is not always the obvious one.
A question that looks like algebra may require a sketch. A question that looks like calculus may need completing the square first. Read the structure before reaching for a formula.
02 / The substitution
The formula is only as good as what goes into it.
Sign errors, misread coefficients, and swapped values account for more lost marks than not knowing the method at all.
03 / The working
Step marks require visible steps.
The mark scheme awards method marks for clear intermediate lines. Jumping from question to answer risks losing marks even when the final value is correct.
04 / The check
A quick substitution catches most errors.
Put the answer back into the original equation or condition. If it does not satisfy, the working contains an error worth finding before moving on.
05 / The answer
Exact form, decimal places, significant figures.
The question specifies the form. Giving a decimal when an exact surd is required, or rounding too early, loses the accuracy mark at the end.
Original practice question
[4]Solve x² − 5x + 6 = 0 by completing the square, showing each step of your working. [4 marks]
Plausible, but insufficient working
"x = 2 or x = 3."
A more exact answer
x² − 5x + 6 = 0. (x − 5/2)² − 25/4 + 6 = 0. (x − 5/2)² = 1/4. x − 5/2 = ±1/2. x = 3 or x = 2.
The better answer is not valuable because it is longer. It shows the method marks the examiner needs to award.
FROM METHOD TO MARK
The hard part is getting from the question to the method.
Choose the approach, make the steps visible, check the result and catch the small error before it becomes the final answer.
02
SHOW THE STEPS
BUILT INTO PRACTICEWorked examples + worksheets
Write enough working to make the method visible — and recoverable if something goes wrong.
03
CATCH THE ERROR
VISIBLE AFTER ATTEMPTPast-paper questions + corrections
Find sign errors, swapped values and rounding mistakes before they become the final answer.
04
DO IT COLD
CONNECTED TO NEXT STEPRevision resources + return
Meet the method again without the worked example beside you.
Shahab Yakoob · Mathematics
Shahab teaches Mathematics by making every step visible.
His course is built around a recurring problem: a student can recognise the topic, remember the formula, and still lose the mark through a sign error, missing working, or an answer in the wrong form.
The standard
Progress is not watching someone solve it. It is getting from the question to the answer yourself — and catching the mistake before the examiner does.
01Pure Mathematics
Build fluency in algebra, functions, calculus, trigonometry, and vectors with the precision the paper requires.
02Mechanics
Apply Newton's laws, energy methods, and equilibrium to structured problems with clear force diagrams and working.
03Statistics
Use probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and data representation with correct notation and interpretation.

01Can I self-study A Level Mathematics with this course?
The route is designed for independent study: teaching, chapter notes, Skill Checks, worksheets, revision resources, and past-paper support are connected in sequence. The student still has to attempt the work and return to mistakes.
02Does every chapter include more than video?
Yes. The product route connects focused lessons with checks, notes, worksheets, questions, and corrections. Exact resource coverage can vary by chapter, so the course player should remain the source of truth.
03What is the difference between Solo Monthly and Solo Exam Pass?
Both cover one subject. Monthly is billed one month at a time and does not require a fixed sitting. Exam Pass is one payment for access through one named sitting.
04When does All Access make more sense?
When the student needs two or more of the included A Level subjects. It covers the full included set and can be selected as Monthly or a sitting-specific Exam Pass.
05Do I buy Recorded again with Live?
No. Matching recorded Mathematics access is included in the Live plan. The cart deliberately keeps one plan at a time so the student is not charged twice.
06Does the course cover Pure, Mechanics, and Statistics?
Yes. The course covers all three components as required by the 9709 syllabus. Pure Mathematics forms the core, with Mechanics and Statistics as the applied components.
